FIRST AID QUICK SHEET- Airway and Breathing
FIRST AID QUICK SHEET Airway and Breathing After you have checked to make sure the scene is safe and put on gloves to protect yourself (Danger) and checked if the patient is responsive (Response), if you find the patient is not responding, you should think: ABC. First check for an Airway and Breathing. Instructions for the A and B steps of the DR. ABC acronym for first aid priorities are below: How to Adjust Someone’s Airway (A): 1. Gently swipe the mouth with one finger to ensure that no objects are blocking the airway. 2. Place two fingers under the casualties chin and one hand on the forehead. 3. Gently lift the chin with two fingers, removing the tongue from the back of the throat. 4. If transport is delayed, roll the casualty onto their side in the recovery position to allow fluids to drain from the mouth Note: If someone is able to speak, their airway is open. Breathing (B): 1. Always remember to look, listen, and feel when checking for breathing. 2. LOOK to see the chest rise and fall. 3. LISTEN to hear breath sounds. 4. Place one hand on the stomach and FEEL for breathing movement and FEEL beneath the nose for air movement. After you have secured an airway and checked for breathing, you may move on to check for bleeding in the C (circulation) step of DR. ABC. *Please be safe and practice first aid at your own risk. LFR International is not liable for injuries resulting from any first aid attempts. .

Code Blue Simulation Curriculum Overview
L. Brown, MD 1 Code Blue Simulation Curriculum Overview Code Blue Simulation Curriculum Stable Ventricular Tachycardia with deterioration to Pulseless VT/VF Cardiac Arrest Project Goals Primary Goal: To improve the ACLS algorithm adherence and leadership skills of medicine residents when responding to in‐hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the ICU. Secondary Goal: To improve inter‐professional communication, leadership, and teamwork during code blue (including RN, RT, and pharmacy) in the ICU. Objectives Upon completion of this curriculum, participants will: 1. Adhere to ACLS algorithms and AHA/ACCF guidelines when leading resuscitation efforts during code blue. 2. Demonstrate awareness and management of practical factors that contribute to success of resuscitation efforts. 3. Demonstrate effective leadership, communication, and teamwork skills during code blue. 4. Physician participants will increase confidence and preparedness for leading real‐world code blue. Participants ICU MD interns, residents, and fellows ICU RN Respiratory Therapist Pharmacist Schedule Ideally, this curriculum is implemented on a recurring basis based upon trainee rotation schedule. Each month prior to trainee intensive care unit (ICU) rotation, an interprofessional team as described above will be invited to participate in a 90‐minute simulation session. The ICU is an ideal setting in which to implement this interprofessional curriculum, as it has an existing interprofessional team structure and often has a higher rate of code blue than a typical medical/surgical unit. Representatives from each of the above professions (RT, pharmacy, chief resident, ICU RN manager) will help to find a mutually agreeable time to schedule the simulation each month to maximize interprofessional participation. Curriculum Components The curriculum consists of three components: simulation exercise of stable VT which deteriorates into pulseless VT/VF, interactive group session with debriefing and review of relevant communication as well as medical factors, and an unannounced in‐unit mock code blue.
